Champions League TV schedule and streaming links

Find out where, when and how to watch the giants of European soccer with our Champions League TV schedule.

In the United States, FOX Sports has the exclusive television rights to both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches.

The most high-profile Champions League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday gamedays during the season are televised live on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2, while other games can be seen on ESPN2, FOX Soccer Plus, Facebook Live, FOX Sports Net and channels 480-489 on DIRECTV as well as DISH plus select Spanish-language games on FOX Deportes and ESPN Deportes.

The UEFA Champions League is televised on FOX Sports. Playoff rounds of the tournament are in August. The group stages of the competition are played from September through December. Round of 16 games are played during February-March, quarter-finals in April, semi-finals in late April and May, while the final is at the end of May.

During the group stage of both tournaments onwards, FOX Soccer Plus features a whiparound coverage show called MultiMatch 90, which is also available on FOX Soccer Match Pass. The concept is, rather than trying to channel surf between all of the games that are being played concurrently, you can watch the MultiMatch 90 program, which will broadcast live (or slightly delayed highlights) from key incidents that are happening around Europe. Read our review of MultiMatch 90.

During the Champions League competition, particularly the Group and Round of 16 stages, FOX Sports almost always will televise the games featuring English Premier League teams on FOX Sports 1. The exception to the rule is Barcelona, which FOX Sports tries to showcase on FOX Sports 1 whenever possible. For fans of teams outside of the Premier League and Barcelona, games are televised on FOX Sports 2, FOX Soccer Plus or, occasionally, FOX Sports Net. The streaming platform FOX Soccer 2GO offers the only current way to guarantee that you’ll have access to every single Champions League game throughout the entire season.

FOX Sports has the exclusive TV and streaming rights to the UEFA Champions League in the United States through until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Espn3 is streaming most if not all of the matches this week. How is it that both Espn and Fox have streaming rights to the Champions League matches? I am happy that a service I already pay for with Xfinity-Espn3- is streaming so many matches!

Expect CONCACAF Champions League matches with English-language commentary to be made available on YouTube, with “World Feed” commentary by a single announcer calling the matches from a sound booth at Vista Worldlink in Dania Beach, Florida.

The voice of USL Match of the Week (2nd division U.S. club soccer) on ESPNU and ESPN3.com, Mike Watts, should be on the call for many CONCACAF Champions League matches as most USL telecasts on ESPN3.com originate from the same sound booth at Vista Worldlink.

Spanish-language coverage of CONCACAF Champions League will be on Univision Deportes Network, with some overflow matches on Galavision if necessary. Authenticated (password-protected for pay TV subscriber of Univision Deportes Network) access via streaming should be available on UnivisionDeportes.com and the Univision Deportes App.
